Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman below, Master Xie didn't need to think twice; he understood what she meant by "unnecessary trouble."
He frowned. Even if there was a reason to explain her wearing a veil, there was no way to refute the fact that she used a fake household registration certificate. If her background was really without problems, why would she use a fake household registration certificate?
Even if she is from the Central Plains, Xiliang is not completely closed off from the Central Plains and does not prohibit entry or exit. Why would she need to use a fake registration certificate to make this deduction? Her original identity must have been problematic, which is why she resorted to this countermeasure.
Observing his expression, Shu Yun softened her tone, speaking slowly and deliberately, her composure most striking feature: "Has the venerable master ever heard of Xuanwu Mountain?"
The Taoist priests of Xuanwu Mountain were most famous for their cultivation, and the emperor of the Central Plains had sent people to seek elixirs of immortality many times. As a prince of Xiliang, he was naturally aware of this.
“Of course.” He glanced at Shu Yun. With a face like hers, she would cause a huge uproar no matter where she was. If she lived in seclusion on Xuanwu Mountain, it would make sense. “Are you trying to say that you are from Xuanwu Mountain?”
The golden light from Shu Yun's sleeve dissipated. In the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to use a little trick. "That's right, I am a Taoist nun who cultivates on Xuanwu Mountain."
She didn't give the old master of the Xie family a chance to speak again, and explained in one go: "Xuanwu Mountain is secluded from the world, which is a sign of its careful nature. A minor hermit lives in the mountains, while a major hermit lives in the world. I came down the mountain this time to see the world below."
"Since the old master has heard of Xuanwu Mountain, he must know that the alchemy techniques of Xuanwu Mountain are famous throughout the world. The prescriptions I used to treat the old master's illness a few days ago were all made by myself. Does the old master feel much better today?"
This is true. As a feudal lord, the Xie family of Xiliang were local tyrants in Xiliang. They had invited the best doctors in the entire Xiliang to their mansion.
He also showed her prescription to other doctors, who all said it was an excellent prescription and praised it highly.
Could it be true, as she claims, that she is a practitioner under the Xuanwu Sect?
He had also heard that she had opened a clinic in the capital of Xiliang, treating not the powerful and wealthy, but only ordinary people, those who could not afford medical care.
Such acts of healing the sick and saving lives, and such benevolent behavior from a doctor, do indeed resemble the style of those Xuanwu Mountain disciples.
